I get annoyed with stupid people and stupid ideas.
Has anyone ever taken a look at poker rooms VIP points stores? I literally don't understand them at all. I was looking at the Carbon Poker VIP store tonight 4 shits and giggles. I noticed stuff in there that was so absurdly overpriced I wanted to burn the cyber store down if only somehow I could. It made me annoyed and angry and.... Ok a travel mug for instance is priced @ 3750 VIP pts. Does anyone think that this is absurd? You can redeem 3,000 points in for $57 even @ just water level VIP. If your VIP Carbon, those 3,000 points are worth $105. It gets worse.... a 72" LG 3D TV is priced @ almost 900,000 VIP's. You can exchange 20,000 VIP points @ Carbon Tier for $700. So 45 redeems of $700 makes that TV $31,500. I seriously can't get over how stupid some people are. I mean it's no wonder the Merge network is run like shit. Another thing that is hilarious, is the fact that they still have the option 4 players to use VIP pts for MTT's. Please don't be stupid enough to do this; if you aren't VIP fire or above it's fine. VIP fire gets 14% cash exchange, so from there up it's a bad move to use the points for MTT's. you only have to rake $75 in a month to get VIP fire fwiw. I know some of you don't grind a bunch; but I wouldn't be shocked if some of you that are VIP Fire or above have used points for MTT's. OK, I was a little worked up there. I just don't understand why the site would have a store filled with stuff only idiots would purchase. I mean there was a pair of flimsy ear buds that were almost 4500 points. I am going to be ether VIP in a couple days ( I know thinly veiled brag) but I will get 25% redeem @ the level. That would mean those ear-buds would cost me $112.50. I mean GTFO Merge..... Really?
